    WorldsChat is  the wrong thing to be looking at on worlds.net.  =
    AlphaWorld is what you need to be looking at.  To enter AlphaWorld you =
    need to down load the (4+ meg) VRML interface they make available there =
    for downloading, (windows/windows-95 only I believe).  If you've been =
    looking at WorldsChat you've been looking at the wrong product.

    WorldsChat is not at all VRML...  there is a circle of staircases (all =
    going
    UP) ... when you go around them, you end up in the same place... I =
    thought
    VRML was a little more realistic...  It also seems that the 3d info is
    stored on the local machine... meaning it cannot be flexible...  You =
    can't
    add new rooms unless all the users re-download the 4-meg install =
    programs.
